We had our Christmas luncheon there. We talked and met with the Manager Shay before hand as we had 50 people to sit and serve. Very accommodating. The food was tasty and the service was friendly, and efficient. Thank you..

I own a boat about 10 minutes away. Location is awesome, love coming in w the boat and they have great space for docking. The gas guys are also excellent t and EVERYONE tries to assist with fuel issues and knowledge...love that. Liquor store right behind it. Would be super smart to add a small grocery type store in that location. However...the menu seems to be entirely M&M based. Newish owners so hoping to see improvements there. Would also love to see some local catches on the menu. Or local products. I mean...we ARE on the water in the Okanagan here.

Had a very nice lunch on the patio and lucked out with few wasps. The service was quick and attentive. We didn’t wait long for our orders and everything was done as we expected. The menu had good variety and there were a couple of specials. This was a very nice waterfront location which is what you want when visiting Vernon.

This was my 189th eatery on my quest to eat at every eatery within Vernon city limits. This was my first time here since it was known as the Blue Heron. Yes, it has been that long. We came here during happy hour at 2pm. Nachos were $18 instead of $24, and deep fried pickles were $9 instead of $14. So definitely one of the biggest happy hour discounts offered in town. That's a saving of over $10 right there. I paid approximately $34 after tax and tip for deep fried pickles, water, and a big plate of nachos. Our server was great. We ate inside because outside has a lot of bugs since it's right on the lake. Keep that in mind if you plan to eat outside. 189 eateries down, and only a few left before the quest in Vernon is over.

i went here and the food was sooooooo good. i got some fry’s and i gobbled them all the way up. the only downside was the wait time was a bit long. they didn’t have a good kids menu a bit dissapointed. but otherwise the food was delicious, a bit pricy but with that view the extra bucks aren’t that bad.

10/10 will be back. Great Atmosphere on the patio lakeside. Drinks were delicious as was the food. I had the Nachos with their house-made chips and they were some of the best I've ever had. Service was great and our waitress was very friendly. I will be back.

Incredible experience! I recently held my milestone theme birthday dinner at 1516 Restaurant. It was such an Incredible experience (my guests are still talking about it, saying that it was one that they’ll definitely remember!) A heartfelt thank you to Lisa the event manager who is very knowledge and an absolute dream to work with and her amazing team that were just incredible! A huge thank you Mandy, who expertly decorated the event room, I was literally in tears when I first walked into the room. She was also our server extraordinaire! Taking care of all our needs. Lisa and her team went team over and beyond catering to our needs, were accommodating to dietary restrictions, as we all had diverse food concerns and allergies; all food concerns were taken care of plus suggestions were even given that we didn't even think of! It was the most phenomenal experience that I will live to remember. THANK YOU so much. I highly recommend anyone looking for a great experience in Vernon to book a reservation and enjoy.

July 16 2024 update. DISAPPOINTING meals for 4 out of 5 of us. :( Stopped in while boating for dinner. Ordered some deep fried pickles for the group to share as an appetizer which never arrived. When our dinners arrived. Fish tacos were badly overcooked and fish appeared grey. Buffalo chicken wrap was lacking flavor and more of a lettuce wrap than anything, cajan prawns again flavorless. Tuna poke which I have had several times previously and quite enjoyed was also lacking flavor and its usual goodness. We.mentioned all the above to both a server that came by to check on us after a lengthy delay waiting for the bill, with little response. and I also spoke to the manager for the day when we left after paying the bill, who also seemed to have the sorry not sorry attitude. It will be difficult to go back again for meals here. Really seems to have gone downhill. A true shame for Vernon's only lakefront dining. Original review. Getting better each visit, we have stopped in a few times since the reopening. Food and service has improved each visit. We all enjoyed our lunch of chicken burgers and beef dips. Fish n chips and buffalo wrap tried on previous stops. Best patio view in Vernon and drive up boat parking for break from water activities. Update Jan 2024: I've been here a few times since the original review over a year ago. A couple of visits this summer were a miss on food quality, just an OK meal. A lunch stop this week was very good once again. Hopefully, the quality and service will stay up. The views here deserve great bar food.

We had a bottle of Cipes, spring rolls, dry ribs, and a Hawaiian flatbread on Sunday, August 25th. The wine, spring rolls, dry ribs, and our friendly server were excellent! The pizza was not. Very undercooked, to the point where the pineapple (clearly straight from the freezer) was still icy. We should have told our server but it felt like the serving team had their hands full with an unruly table of young men making inappropriate comments to their servers. It felt like a signal that management tells servers to deal with it rather than supporting them and refusing to serve gross young men treating the servers poorly. This is a nice setting for sure, and I m sure if we had mentioned the frozen pineapple on the barely cooked flatbread it would have been fixed.

Wow. Just wow. Huge price tag. ($160 for 2 ppl with one appy, 2 meals and 3 drinks). Super small portions. Our server was lovely and sitting outside was great but that s not enough to compensate for high prices and bad food. This was our second disappointment in a row so we won t be back.

Went for my husband s birthday dinner as one of the few (only!) restaurants with outdoor seating on the lakes around Vernon. Very crowded, no fans available on a hot evening in the high 30s temp. After an exceptionally long wait, the falafel wrap arrived having only lettuce and tomato, no falafel! A lovely waitress, however, she acknowledged that there were many mistakes coming out of the kitchen tonight! Not to return!

Have gone a few times hoping that it would get better, but keeps getting worse My boyfriend got severe Food poisoning the last time, and we will not be back. All the food also tasted like it was cooked in a fryer that has never been cleaned

Me and my buddy shared some appetizers on Tuesday for lunch and both got food poisoning, it s a nice restaurant on the water, but I would avoid eating here unless you want to sit on toilet shooting out water for days

Service was pleasant enough and the setting on the lake was very nice. My food was awful. The chicken sandwich was bland, dried out and very small. The fries were cold and tasted stale; I sent them back. My wife, however, did enjoy her tuna poke which is the only reason for the 3 stars. The food, especially mine, was way overpriced. I will not be returning.

I am a regular customer of 1516 both with my kids & myself. I recently had an experience where my burger was raw. I need to say I have never had a bad food experience at 1516 so this was a surprise. I went back 2 days later & explained my situation & the server was unbelievably understanding & apologetic. (I will definitely do my best to get her name) She immediately offered to cover of my meal 2 days later. In addition to this she wrote the most thoughtful message on my take out container I was going to continue going there anyways but this considerate gesture reinforced it. I will be sure to communicate this to the owner & manager. What a classy move!

One of only two waterfront pubs in the Vernon area (the other being Alexanders on Kalamalka Lake). The location is great. You really cant beat a waterfront patio in the summer. The food is typical pub fare. Higher prices than other local pubs. Youre paying for the location.

On Okanagan Lake, in Vernon, there are very few options for eats with a view, but 1516 which has been several other iterations over the years has an amazing patio really good servers and pretty good food not a bad combo if you ask me.. oh and some nice cold beverage options too! ; )

It is very strange to go to such a beautiful pub on the water and have the food be so weak. I had the beef dip and it was this strange fatty thin cut meat. There was absolutely no flavour in any part of the dish. The others that were in our group said that their meals were absolutely flavourless, and when there was a bit of flavor, it was not the best combination. We had some Bellinis that were really poorly done. Whether their great servers and amazing location there wouldn t be much to talk about

Food was good, but DONT order the Belinellis. They are a high priced slushie. The drink was only about 1/2 cup in size and no flavour. The owner needs to go to Mr. Mikes steak house and order a Belinelli. See how it should be made.

Our server was seemingly uninterested in engaging with our friendly table. She barely checked on us, never checked if drinks were ok and handed us the POS machine After shed pre-selected the 20% tip option. Not cool. TIPS mean To Insure Proper Service, not a guaranteed amount picked by server.

Good food, good service, want bothered many times when it was clear I was talking or eating and enjoying myself. Drink was watched for refills and the staff was friendly. Food was the best part of the experience in my opinion. Nice simple menu. Great dishes. Question if the owner/s see this, do you provide chess pieces for the beautiful corner table? Drinks and chess would be nice!

We first tried this pub after about a couple weeks after its re-opening..and said we would not go back..the food was terrible...but yesterday a friend convinced me to try it again.. Well I was pleasantly surprised..the food was much better and the service we got from Alex was outstanding...she is a huge asset to that team from our short interaction with her.. so much so we will go back...as of March 2024 it seems a bit of a new menu was re-worked..and seems one of the more economical places to go in Vernon right now...will be great when the weather warms up so one can get on the patio again

My wife and I had a special occasion to celebrate so we thought we would try that old Blue Heron, which is now the 1516 pub. We had a delightful lunch Lakeside with great service from the hostess name Jordan. Thank you, Jordan for making it a special day for us. Probably wont try it in the middle of it. High season of summer as it will be very crowded but right now April 14 is actually wonderful.. Wheelchair accessibility: Access to the patio was through a lot gate which the staff eagerly opens for us. Sat outside waterfront, enjoying the view. This time of year, its not that busy so we enjoyed that also.

April 23, 2024

Waited 20 minutes for our drink order. Server was friendly but passed us off to another server to take the orders of a bigger table. Another server never came. We don t always make the choice to go out with a toddler, so it s extremely disappointing to have an experience like this when we do make time to get out.

★★★

Most of the cache for 1516 comes from bordering the lake; the food was mediocre; there is much better menus and food in Vernon. The night 6 of us went to the restaurant, they had live music but it was so loud that I looked forward to when the band was on a break. The service was relatively good but depends on the server because the previous time it was much better. So, good service is hit and miss. The view was spectacular because it was a beautiful day but still a bit cold; so we sat inside. However, the view is likely why people enjoy this restaurant. Overall, this restaurant is lower in my rotation of places to visit when dining in Vernon.

We had a large group for dinner on the deck recently and from the start to finish, service, food and attention was excellent, despite them being short staffed (unforeseen staff emergency, hopefully shes well). My only comment is that they need a few mobile heaters to place in the areas there arent any immovable heaters. They gave us blankets though, so we survived lol. They work so hard to do their best, so give them grace when things arent perfect. Thanks team 1516!

Went on a nice sunny Wednesday ~ 12C, ~ 2:00pm in mid-March. Ample parking and fairly busy inside with customers at only 2 tables on the patio. Maybe its too cool for others but comfortable wearing shorts and light long sleeve top. Sun made it much warmer and being on the water with killer view makes for best patio in Vernon. Bonus is the dock where you can drive up with your boat, tie up, and enjoy food & drink. From arrival through food & drink and departure, the service was excellent, welcoming, friendly, engaging, and efficient. Menu is diverse with many pub favorites. Good quality, well portioned and med to high pricing. Good selection of beers, and they have aged single malt Scotch. Would definitely go back during the summer when I suspect the patio has line ups.

We were hesitant to try this restaurant due to the prices, however, we thought if the food is as good as we ve heard, it would be worth it. Went on a Saturday as $5 off mains, well even though the fish and chips, choice of 1 or 2 pieces was listed on the mains, apparently only the 2 piece is entitled to the $5 off. Would have been nice to know that before ordering, as my husband would have chose something else instead. The food was just on the warm side, so half way through the meal our food was cold. Music, which was not advertised started at about 6:15 and so it was very difficult to have a discussion with our friends. Overall, I would probably not go back.

Okay, weve given the new owners 3 tries since it changed from the old out board. Weve had 2 lunches and one brunch. At best the food is only poor to fair. Dry tasteless ceasar salad for example. Nothing special for the price. Barely passible as pub grub. Good spot for just coffee and drinks and maybe add fries if starving. Sitting outside on the deck overlooking the marina makes up for a lot of ills on a fine day and they seem to be banking on it. Service is good though. They need to improve on their food quality. Vernon needs more lakeside dining options as well. Next time well get take out from a better restaurant and sit on the beach.

It was ok, nothing fantastic. Not really sure how to evaluate the food as it was good but it doesnt command 4 stars. Service was decent but the music was blaring inside. A little expensive for the food to quality ratio. But thats me and what do I know!?

The best of it is the Patio other than that, Overpriced and bad service. We share a Chicken Brie sandwich. was serve Dry , Bread not toasted basically i could not taste the apples in it , i could not even see them, the bacon was old you can tell is from the night before. $24 bucks for it, i did not send it back because we were hungry. Service is terrible, No cutlery , no napkins , the server never check on us and the worst a corona with out lime, i asked for the lime but the beer was gone by the time she show up. Will not come back

Our server was terrific. The food was good. The mini-yorkies were amazing. The cauliflower bites had too much batter & weren t a very healthy option, all told, but were tasty all the same. Our group liked the food & the drinks were beautiful. Our server made the night. She was lovely though I can t recall her name now. Such a great location. Just need to bring back the live music on the patio!

Nice place but unexpected noisy (loudly music + many people voices = not so comfortable for a relaxing). It is a good place for a middle/big company, for family dinner. However if you look for a cozy and relaxed place to enjoy the conversation with old friends or to have a diner alone after working day I would choose something else.

Sunday 3:00 p.m. not very busy, table for 5. My Mom had dry ribs that were very crunchy, over cooked, and tasteless. My dad had calamari and didn t know what he was eating. It looked like very thick panko breadcrumbs rolled into a ball and deep fried in old oil. Was there even a piece of calamari in there? Husband s burger was fair- fries were like generic McCann s frozen from a bag. Niece had the Flatbread margarita, she said it was like eating Pillsbury dough. I had the tofu poke bowl but came with Tuna instead. Left the tuna so ended up paying $28.00 for 7 tablespoons of rice garnished with 4 slices each of wilting raw radish and cucumber. Terrible presentation. Left the Tuna in tack hopefully it doesn t end up on the next diner s plate. All the glasses were filthy (including lip stains) I had to go to my car to get a stainless-steel cup from my car so I could have a drink. The only positive was the bottled wine. If you re use to eating Kraft dinner or if you re drunk, then you would think the food is gourmet. The food tasted like my 16-year-old son cooked it. If you are used to ½ decent dining, you would find the dining experience sub par. If I was the only one at the table that was disappointed it is on me, but when 5 people have the same experience it s on the establishment. The poor quality does not reflect the high price you pay. Better off putting a hotdog and hamburger stand on the property, it would be less offensive.

We hesitated to try this location based on the mixed reviews but decided to check it out anyway. It was a nice (hot and humid) day. We were promptly brought to our outdoor table by a lovely girl. Though we sat there for 20-25 min with a bunch of waitresses glancing but no service. Eventually the indoor hostess spotted us and apologized as it was apparently quite busy inside and our waitress was overwhelmed so didnt check on us. Our hostess then took our drinks order and our waitress appeared shortly after. We received multiple apologies and got our food ordered. Portions were mediocre but tasted good. Very expensive for what you get. Waitress checked on us once my meal was done. Took another 15 minutes for our waitress to bring our receipt after our request. Irrelevant to our service we saw 4 plates sent back to the kitchen. And an overserved loud-mouth at the table beside us.

Great service and a fantastic patio. Food was substandard. Had the fish and chips, and it was so over cooked I had to send it back. If you deep fry something so much that its as dark as a russet potato and hard as a rock, either your oil is too hot or you are cooking it way too long.

Well , Let me just say that I haven t been since it s changed names and I can tell you right, I ll never return. We walked in this afternoon with nobody else in the restaurant other then the couple the server/ hostess was talking to in the back corner. She looked over as we stood in the doorway, no hello or I ll be right with you. We stood for about 5 minutes then thought if we sat ourselves, she might get the hint. Nope, sat there for another 5 , got up said thank you sarcastically and walked out. Still not even giving any kind of care that we were there and now leaving. Way to go! I honestly thought that it would be a good experience from what I e heard. I ll be sure to share my experience with friends and family.

RAVE to 1516 pub who helped my family by allowing us to host a very last minute event there that required access for a wheelchair and a wheelchair-accessible washroom.

With very few food and drink establishments on the waterfront in the Okanagan, this one is always a refreshing delight!
